Stripe built a company brain: Meet Kai
Sharadh Krishnamurthy, engineering manager at Stripe, joins Claire Vo to break down Kai, Stripe's internal AI agent used by over 10,000 employees weekly. He explains why Stripe decided to build rather than buy their company agent, how pre-existing developer and data infrastructure enabled rapid enterprise deployment, and how they use project-level governance, secure cloud sandboxes, and a self-serve skills platform to scale AI safely across both technical and non-technical teams.
